The assignment for this lesson is to answer a series of questions that prompt you to interpret the implicit ideas in Dante's Inferno. You must back up the ideas in your answers with concrete evidence from the text. You should have created a draft of this assignment in the writing activity called "Prepare an Interpretation." If you didn't complete that activity, you should go back and do so now. If you have already completed the draft, continue to the next page to start revising.

This writing assignment will focus on the following skills:
Differentiating between explicit and implicit meanings
Backing up your ideas with evidence
Citing sources
